I have a feeling its an acquired taste like most alcohol.. I hated the taste of beer when i first started drinking it, even to this day it isn't my favourite thing to drink, but I do recognize what tastes better than others to a certain degree. If you aren't a big fan of champagne in general, which is probably most of us here being that none of us are prom girls or celebrate new year every week, then it would explain why most of us aren't fans, including myself. just my  anyway. |
Fruit juices and champaign are vastly differently... not really even worth comparing in any kind of taste test.
Like anything, from drink to food, always a huge group of people that like even the worst of things.
Beers are a great example... Several types of beer I don't like, actually very few that I do. But the ones I don't like, still have taste - just a taste I don't like.
Champaign, is like beer too me, most of it does not taste good to me - but they do have a taste. It's my personal preference if that taste is good or not.
I'm not saying Cristal isn't good to some people. Heck, if it was $20, I would say it's a great $20 bottle of Champaign. Why? Because $20 bottles of Champaign have a odd, off taste that sticks around after you drink it - much the same type of taste that sticks around with Cristal.
I'm not trying to judge this as in, good vs. bad here... I just think it greatly lacks in taste (compared to others posted here) for sure with it's price.
